Are demons real? Do ghosts exist? Do some unresolved medical and mental health issues have a spiritual connection?

Exploring more than 40 true stories of supernatural encounters from pastoral and personal experiences as well as historical research, this book is scholarly yet simple, hair-raising and enlightening.

The book delves into critical questions such as the reality of demons and ghosts, and whether certain medical or mental health issues may have spiritual causes. Dabbs offers advanced biblical research to help readers discern the spiritual dimensions of various experiences, identify supernatural encounters, and exercise biblically granted authority over evil spirits.

I have found “When Demons Surface” to be a valuable resource, that I can keep coming back to when I am in need of prayers and guidance in life.

Very comprehensive and moving. I love how it is centered on who God is and His power—it proved that demons are real but minimized its power in comparison to God's.

It didn't incite in me a curiosity of demons and ungodly fear of them (just as I formerly did when I was into occult & witchcraft), but rather:

1. Amazed me of who God is
2. Affirmed me that I am His child who has authority through Him and...
3. Moved me to extend compassion to people because Satan is the real enemy & not our neighbors

Highly recommend!❤️
